What do you mean by quitting the business? I'm not a big shot.

Chapter 623 Guan Yu's Assistance in the Election, Jesus' Support?

"Tell him to come in."

Yin Zhaotang said.

He immediately opened the door with his left hand, his eyes filled with disdain, and said loudly, "Beidou, Brother Tang invites you in."

Beidou looked haggard as he entered the room under the watchful eyes of Shenghe's men, cupping his hands in apology and saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yin, Shenghe didn't handle things well."

Yin Zhaotang said meaningfully, "You handled things quite well."

Beidou seemed not to understand the sarcasm in the words and said, "In order to avenge the boss, I brought people here overnight to kidnap Lin Anquan and hand him over to Yin Sheng for disposal."

"Where is he?" Yin Zhaotang asked, slightly surprised, but his eyes also turned very unfriendly.

Beidou said, "It's hidden in a hotel, do you want it?"

"Nonsense! Mr. Lam is a candidate for councilor, not a gangster. Release him immediately!" Yin Zhaotang said fiercely, shouting, "Kaixin is my good brother and a member of the Party. If something happens to him, I will report it to the Party Committee and request an investigation. Shenghe will cooperate."

“There’s no need for Sheng-Ho to interfere in the election.”

Beidou seemed somewhat regretful, and pleaded, "Mr. Yin, give Hesheng another chance. I will definitely protect Mr. Chen and Mr. Hu."

"Useless trash. If you can't handle it, then don't. Don't spoil my mood. Let's go." Yin Zhaotang was too lazy to look at Beidou anymore and waved for Zuo Shou to see the guest out.

After seeing the person into the elevator, Zuo Shou returned to the living room and said, "Boss, I think Kaixin's troubles are inextricably linked to that loser Beidou."

"One night, he took the throne and stopped acting altogether."

Yin Zhaotang drank his water, his expression icy: "He even tied Lin Anquan up to show his loyalty to me. He's just taking advantage of my reluctance to break the rules and deliberately trying to silence me."

With a murderous glint in his eyes, he slashed down with his left hand and said, "Then shall we kill him?"

"We can't let the situation escalate into chaos, otherwise we're doomed to lose votes in Wong Tai Sin District. Let's hand it over to the national investigation department and see if we can handle it fairly and squarely!"

Kaixin still has some connections in China, and Wo Shing Wo is a highly valued pawn; if reported, it will definitely attract attention. That's why Beidou doesn't dare to publicly break with him; no one can bear the accusation of causing chaos and disorder in Hong Kong.

Yin Zhaotang had no reason to interfere in Shenghe's family affairs. Even if there was evidence of Beidou's rebellion, it would be up to Kaixin's students to step forward.

Left Hand looked regretful: "If Kaixin is willing to join the Zhi Guild, then I can get involved."

“The top position in Wo Shing Wo is not easy to hold,” Yin Zhaotang sighed softly, and said, “Call Chen Xianzong, Li Junfeng, Liang Bojun, and Zhang Zhouren to go to Lantau Island to worship the gods at 2 pm.”

"I pray to Lord Guan to protect them."

Knowing that the big boss needed a place to discuss private matters with the four candidates for councilor, Zuo Shou nodded and said, "I'll go inform them."

Chan Hin-chung is the candidate for Wong Tai Sin District, Lee Chun-fung is the candidate for Sau Mau Ping District, Leung Pok-kwan is the candidate for Yau Tong District, and Cheung Chow-yan is the candidate for Kowloon City District.

Of the four, Li Junfeng is the most senior, having served one term as a legislator, but resigned the following year due to a sex scandal. Liang Bojun is a licensed barrister, a member of the Four Modernizations Association, and enjoys high public support; he was invited back to the profession by Liang Chaoying. Zhang Zhouren is a grain and oil business owner in Kowloon City who has repeatedly used the media to advocate for the interests of the Kowloon Walled City residents.

He contributed significantly to the land acquisition and redevelopment in Kowloon City and has already earned the title of Justice of the Peace. The four men, who were candidates bet on by Yin Zhaotang, received the notification, made preparations, and took a boat to Lantau Island.

Yin Zhaotang, dressed in a suit, was waiting at the yacht marina with more than a dozen men. As soon as Chen Xianzong stepped ashore, he stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Mr. Yin."

Li Junfeng, carrying a gentleman's cane and with a handkerchief tucked into his suit jacket, nodded in greeting: "Mr. Yin."

Liang Bojun was young and handsome, wearing glasses, while Zhang Zhouren was short, with gaunt skin, and smoking a cigarette. They walked up the mountain together, enjoying the scenery.

We arrived at the entrance of Angping Village.

Yin Zhaotang looked at the Guandi statue on the top of Lotus Peak and said, "Last month, the Guandi statue, which cost 300 million Hong Kong dollars, was completed. The masters spent a month consecrating it. "It is not officially open to the public yet. I brought you here to pay your respects and ask Guan Sheng Di Jun for assistance in the election."

The four of them had no intention of taking the idea of ​​asking the gods for help in the election seriously.

However, upon seeing the 34-meter-tall Guan Yu statue at the Temple of Heaven, everyone became solemn and dared not speak loudly.

Because the Guandi statue at the Temple of Heaven, which holds the record for the world's largest outdoor Guandi statue, is so majestic and imposing that it is a completely different concept from the kind-faced and solemn Buddha statue.

The former is sharp and intimidating, while the latter is charming and unpretentious.

Chen Xianzong didn't believe in Guan Yu, but he was willing to burn a couple more incense sticks for good luck. On the way to the Temple of Heaven, Liang Bojun chatted casually, "Mr. Yin, I heard there was a bloody incident at the Wong Tai Sin minibus terminus last night. Will it affect Mr. Chen's election?"

With steady steps, Yin Zhaotang calmly said, "One of the leaders of Heshenghe has died."

Chen Xianzong looked panicked: "Wasn't it just one of my underlings who died? How come Ding Sheng is also in trouble?"

"In the face of the ballot, is Mr. Ding any different from a junior member? I called you all here to make it clear that the election has already turned bloody."

“I will ask the security company to send more bodyguards to you all, and Inspector Tsang will be in charge.” As soon as Yin Zhaotang finished speaking, Tsang King-fuk stepped forward and said, “I am the director of Chung Yee Security. Before the election ends, I will be responsible for the safety of you and your families.”

"I hope everyone will cooperate with my work."

Chen Xianzong, Li Junfeng, Liang Bojun, and Zhang Zhouren's tense faces visibly relaxed, and they nodded quickly to express their gratitude: "Thank you for your trouble, Inspector Zeng."

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Yin."

Yin Zhaotang said, "This is something I should arrange. In short, please rest assured that you will not be affected by the fire."

“Shenghe has also elected a new leader, and I will try my best to secure votes.”

During their conversation, the group had already arrived at the incense burner.

With his left hand, he distributed the burning incense to five people. Four of the candidates, dressed in suits, stood on either side of Yin Zhaotang and followed him in bowing three times devoutly.

The candidates closed their eyes, seemingly praying for nothing.

Yin Zhaotang whispered, "I humbly pray to Guan Yu, the Holy Emperor, for your blessing, that I may be elected and achieve a great victory!"

"Elected! A resounding victory!"

Chen Xianzong took a deep breath and shouted loudly.

The five people then stepped forward one after another to offer incense to the gods. Wisps of incense smoke drifted out of the bronze cauldron and condensed into several lines of text in front of the tall and majestic statue of the gods in the Temple of Heaven.

May Guan Yu bless the nation and its people, bringing good fortune and averting misfortune!

[Please select the following fortune for this period:] 1. Fortune related to etiquette: disaster relief and epidemic prevention, united efforts, mutual support, and the gathering of hearts and minds.

[Note: This period of fortune is governed by the character "礼" (rites/propriety), and requires offering thanks to the gods by uncovering a corruption scandal.]

[Part Two: Faith, Jesus' support, church campaigning, victory in four districts, baptism and membership]

[Note: This time, the word "faith" signifies that the divine favor should be rewarded by "revealing the dark side of an election."]

Upon seeing the two fortune sticks, Yin Zhaotang immediately realized the directions for breaking the deadlock represented by the two fortunes.
